Does anyone know about the meetings at St Agnes?  I had my surgery at Bayview, but it's so far to go and I would like to attend a support group closer to home.  I live in the Catonsville, Ellicott City area.

Dr. Von Rueden from GBMC will be working there as of March I spoke to the bariatric coordinator Cathy and forgot to ask her about the support meetings.  Here is the number call and ask. 410-368-2384

Linda  Did you check out the support meeting tomorrow night in Glen Burnie, that is not far to go and right off of the beltway.  We would love to see you there.  Check out Dan's posting. Hugs Kristen

Hi Linda, The Glen Burnie meetings will be the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month.   From 6 to 6:30 there will be sort of a 'social' time to chit chat and give everyone a chance to arrive, then the meeting with topic will be from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Hope to see you there next time. Hugs, Mo

Comparison is the thief of joy!

If we spend our time comparing our life/weight loss/body to others, we totally miss what WE have accomplished.   Keep in mind how far you have come and what you can do now that you couldn't do weeks/months/years ago.   I hate the expression " It's all good", but in this case it fits!   Wherever you are in your journey  ... It's ALL good!!!

Hi Linda, Slight revision to my previous post.   For the time being the GB meetings will be monthly (not twice a month) on the first Monday (except in April will be the 2nd Tuesday).   The next meeting is Tuesday March 4. See Daniel's post in a new thread about the upcoming meeting dates and plans! Hugs, Mo
